I like them, and not just for bowling or ballet. But, then, what's not to like about "Kitten Testicle Grey" shoes with an "Ich Bin Atheist" sole? I also like the company's aesthetic, ethic, and pricing. Personally, I'd go for one of the more striking colors, but that's me.- pstoller

No, he meant that the burgundy shoes looked brown on his screen at a glance, and he preferred them to the suggested black shoes. Brown or burgundy, either would be better than black with the outfit shown; I agree that burgundy is preferable to brown.- pstoller

Possibly. The AA will certainly do if you're trying to cop that look—although it would help if you filled out the sleeves like Walker, as opposed to the AA model.- pstoller

Yes. The slightly different greys will clash, and a grey denim uniform isn't a great look, either. If you want to go all grey, go with one pale and one dark. Grey and black can also work. So could grey and dark blue.- pstoller

This sort of shoe is elegant, but not exactly subtle. The way you plan to wear them, they would likely be the distinguishing part of your outfit. This is not necessarily a bad thing; I do it all the time. (Heck, I'd wear those with jeans.) But, if you have one pair of remarkable shoes that...- pstoller

These have to do with the thickness of the spun cotton yarn used to weave the fabric for the shirt. One figure is for warp, the other for weft. The first number in each figure states the size (thickness) of the yarn based on a length-to-mass ratio: 40 could mean 40 meters per gram...- pstoller

Sure, it'll work. I can't tell if the jeans are dark blue or black. I think blue denim generally works better with brown shoes than black, but black and blue has a vibe, too. Black and black is a no-brainer. Black denim and brown shoes—that takes attitude (and the right shade of brown), but...- pstoller

The jacket is darted on the front, distorting the horizontal dimension of the pattern and causing the vertical line through the right pockets to temporarily "disappear." Thus, the pocket flap patterns don't line up perfectly on either side. The ticket pocket makes it more obvious, but the...- pstoller

The weight isn't a big issue; it's certainly lighter than carrying a second pair of glasses. However, generic clip-ons don't look or fit great. What's the point of frames you really like if clip-ons are going to cover them up? If you have more than one pair of glasses, converting this one...- pstoller

Do you have a cat?
Thanks for the kind words; I'll let him know. :) Kent, he's a Chinchilla Silver Persian of the Dearheart line. (Those are the ones in the Fancy Feast ads.) They're notable for not having the "pushed face" of most Persians (perhaps the reason he "doesn't look like a bastard"); I much...- pstoller

Cloak is out of business: you should check the Buying and Selling forum here, eBay, etc. Cloak tends to run a bit small, but the fit varies from piece to piece: in my svelter days, I was a small or medium in Cloak depending on the item. For similar items, you should check out what former...- pstoller

This is true, I was—thanks for the props. I've also had very long absences and mostly lurk now, as I've had a tendency to go all OCD on occasion and that time is generally better spent with my wife or working. Still, I try to make myself useful on occasion, for old times' sake. :)- pstoller

I understand the black jacket problem: I have tons of 'em. So, basically, you want a wool field jacket, military-inspired but probably a bit more tailored and different material than military issue. I'd just do a Google image search for "field jacket" and "field coat" +wool to see if...- pstoller

Not quite. Reversed leather, or roughout, is a full grain, flesh-side-out leather (too scarred to use grain-side-out). It has the same strength as other full grain leather, but has a nappy finish that tends towards coarseness. By contrast, suede is split so there is no grain side: it hasn't...- pstoller
